The Budget That Quietly Rewrites Our Lives

Thank God there is one judge following law & common sense than to take someone’s livelihood away from them, rather than following ideological crap!
Freedom Convoy organizer Chris Barber will be able to keep his long-haul truck “Big Red” after a judge dismissed the Crown’s application to seize the vehicle used in the 2022 protest.
“The Crown’s application for the forfeiture of Big Red is denied, the court having found forfeiture of Big Red to be disproportionate,” Justice Heather Perkins-McVey said on Dec. 19.
Perkins-McVey said while the truck was used as offence-related property for the protest, forfeiture would have been disproportionate because the truck is used for Barber’s business and there is “no evidence” that Big Red will be used in future criminal offences.
“On the contrary, the evidence suggests that Big Red will continue to be used for its legitimate and intended commercial purposes as a work truck in the future, much the same way as it has been used since its purchase ...
How bloody true….
An Obituary printed in the London Times.....Absolutely Dead Brilliant!!t
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years.
No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long
ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- And maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend
more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing
regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents ...
C&C is worth a glance today
Here’s a clip from this week’s Joe Rogan Experience #2427 (December 17, 2025), where Bret Weinstein discusses Pierre Kory’s book “The War on Ivermectin.” The book documents 80 U.S. court cases between 2021-2022 as a kind of accidental natural experiment. In the cases, which were brought by families of patients who wanted courts to make hospitals administer the drug, 38 of 40 patients survived when courts ordered ivermectin, versus 38 patients out of 40 who died when courts denied ivermectin
Weinstein displayed the appropriate amount of incredulity about this outcome. As a scientist, he ran the numbers. The chances of those outcomes happening by random chance are so small as to be impossible (1 in 20 quadrillion). But, as Weinstein ruefully pointed out, nobody will pay any attention to this astonishing evidence since it doesn’t appear in a peer-reviewed study.
